Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The provision for income taxes for the third quarter 2015 was $23.4 million, which includes a $63.9 million valuation allowance on a portion of the Company’s deferred tax assets with future expiration dates. Through the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company's results reflected a three year cumulative loss from U.S. operations; prior thereto, the Company's historical results reflected a three year cumulative profit. The three year cumulative loss limits the ability to consider other positive subjective evidence, such as projections of future results, to assess the realizability of deferred tax assets. As a result of this assessment, the Company established a valuation allowance during the three month period ended September 30, 2015. The non-cash charge was comprised of a $56.6 million valuation allowance for certain state and federal tax benefits recognized in prior years, and a $7.3 million valuation allowance recorded as part of the current year’s effective tax rate, representing approximately a 6% tax rate impact. Third quarter 2014 results included a provision for income taxes of $0.5 million, which included discrete tax benefits of $3.4 million primarily associated with adjustments to prior years’ and foreign taxes. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the provision for income taxes was $23.7 million, compared to a benefit for income taxes of $12.4 million for the 2014 comparable period. In addition to the valuation allowance discussed above, the income tax rate in 2015 and 2014 is also impacted by the Company’s inability to use the federal domestic manufacturing deduction tax benefit due to net operating loss carryforwards. Year to date results for 2015 included discrete tax expense of $57.9 million, primarily due to the $63.9 million valuation allowance discussed above. The prior year to date period included discrete tax benefits of $7.8 million, primarily associated with adjustments to prior years’ and foreign taxes. A federal income tax refund of $59.9 million was received in the first quarter of 2015. Also in 2015, the Company resolved various uncertain tax position matters related to temporary differences which resulted in $60.9 million of the long-term liability for uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2014 being reclassified to a deferred tax liability.
